The English Pea just one of "The Cutest Shops Online"

This shop was just too adorable to keep all to my self! I just have to share it with you all. Last night while searching for back to school items I came across The English Pea on Etsy. They make some of the cutest paper products, perfect for any occasion, including back to school note cards. I just fell in love with their Teacher’s little notes for sending home, they would make the perfect appreciation gift for your little ones Teacher. All of The English Peas designs are original and made in vibrant, fun colors. And in my opinion are just plain adorable! Each set comes with 12 personalized note cards and 12 coordinating envelopes. I also loved her little airplane cards, you just have to check it out trust me they are really cute.

Crazy Cute Folders

These are just Crazy Cute! I know that my subject this month was all about items for back to school, but honestly my first thought when I saw these cuties was, “this is perfect for all my work receipts that clutter my work bench!” Then again they would also work for homework papers/notes from teachers sent home or even for a teacher’s desk. Proudgrits11 makes these little decorative file folders over in her Etsy shop. She has taken standard sized plan old manila folders and then jazzed them up a notch with adorable scrap paper. She has a ton of themes and colors to choose from. She works with some of the cutest papers you just have to stop by and take a look to see what I mean! She also has a coupon code for all you just mention the word "CUTE" and you will recieve $1.00 off your folders perchase, don't you just love coupon codes their like gold! The code is good until the end of Aug so hurry over and don't miss out. See comments for more coupon info.

The Drama of the Search

So my oldest who you all know will be starting Kindergarten in 12 days to be exact! Not that I’m counting down or anything lol anyways…. I just bought her a pack back for the first time, which was fun. But let me tell you finding one that didn’t have Elmo or Dora (which according to her she’s just too old for) or heaven per bid Hanna Montana, not that Mom has anything against Hanna Montana, I just don’t want my five year old be a walking advertisement for her. Anyways after a very long search we finally came to agree on a pink and purple pokadot one we found. My only regret was that I didn’t check Etsy or Artfire first, to be honest it didn’t even don on me until after the fact. And of course I found some adorable ones BratSacksBaby’s shop. They have a ton to choose from which would be perfect for boys or girls. I only wish I would have thought to look, but such is life.

Fun Locker Memo Board

How cute and Stylish is this! What an adorable Locker Memo Board made by HappyGoose over at Etsy. She has a ton to choose from but this one by far is my favorite, I only wish that I had one back when I was in school, which well let’s just say was a long-long-long time ago! Plus not only would it look adorable up in your daughter’s locker but it would work perfectly hanging on her bedroom door or dorm room for that matter. The board Measures 7.5" x 20" and comes with an attached mirror. It hangs up by magnets which are included. It really is a great price at $13.95

Yummy and Eco Friendly!

This is just so cool that I just had to share it with you all! I have been thinking about getting one for my daughter next year. Abbysatticsatx makes these adorable little reusable lunch bags. The eco-friendly lunch kit includes the following

*One recycled Capri Sun Juice Pouch bag,
*One reusable cloth napkin
*One reusable large cloth snack bag
*One reusable small cloth snack bag
Not only is this darling kit just plain adorable! But it’s also going to help you reduce your carbon foot print which we all need to do. What a great way to start teaching your kids while they are young. Abbysatticsatx also has many others to choose from this just happen to be my favorite one.

Sweet little notes

Just a little something, more girly for you all. This is a great idea I can’t believe that I’ve never thought about it before. So I was looking for back to school items last night and came across Riricreations, she has created these pre-made note cards perfect for stuffing into your little ones lunch bag. I remember as a kid getting little notes and always thinking that it was so cool. These little notes have cute little ballerina’s on them which at my house ballerinas and tutu’s are very “in” right now, that and fairies. Anyways I just thought that this was a great item to share with all of you, oh and if ballerina’s and tutu’s isn’t really your thing, she also has dinosaurs or pirates.

Soccer Balls Coloring Cubby for all you Boy Mom's out there

So because I only have little girls doesn’t mean that I have forgotten about all you boy mom’s out there! Take a look at this it’s a Soccer Balls Coloring Cubby, what a perfect way to keep the crayons all neat and put together. My two girls are always losing crayons. This Crayon Cubby measures approximately 12 by 6 inches when opened, but when rolled up it fits nicely in to any purse or dipper bag. Hopefully no more searching the bottom of the dipper bag for all those lose crayons right! It’s also a great little set to take to doctor visits to entertain little ones while you’re waiting. Which reminds me I better call and make an appointment for her Kindergarten shots, ouch the poor thing.

Just a little side note
*5% discount off your Crayon Cubby if you mention "thecutestshoponline"

Show your Teacher how much you care!

This is such a cool collection a perfect gift for a loving teacher and for only $8.00 you can’t bet that. The kit includes everything a teacher would need such as a teacher's daily planner, desk name plates, note cards + envelopes (for notes home), and a ton more. The "Back to school collection" is emailed to you in pdf files so you can print and decorate as much or as little as you wish. My mom is actually an elementary school teacher, as a kid I always thought it was so much fun stopping by moms class room. It was always perfectly decorated which, she would always change to match the seasons, (Not to mention she always had candy on her desk!) Aaahhh Good times.

*Just thought I would update you all I just found out that Paper and Cake does "buy 3 $5 sets, get the 4th $5 set free" sale going on all the time... Now who doesn't like to get a free gift right!

Are You Ready?

For school that is! I’m so excited for my little five year old, who will be starting school at the end of the month. I’m not sure if I should admit this or not but, I just can’t wait! Let’s just say I’m not going to be one of those mom’s who cry when the bus drives away. Not that I won’t miss her, because I know I will. But for the fact that I will finally be able to get some things done! To those moms who are able to get all the errands done with more than two little ones, my hat goes off to you! The post office is always a great little adventure with two little ones if you know what I mean. Anyways that leads me to this month’s theme I will be looking for back to school supplies and helpful products, if you have something you would like to share please feel free to drop a link in the comment area, Links back to thecutestshopsonline would be helpful but not necessary, although it does add to good karma j/k
